COSY OUTDOOR SOFA
COSY OUTDOOR SOFA
Designed by Francesco Rota
The family of the Cosy sofa, designed by Francesco Rota in 2017, continues to expand. Its strength lies in its modularity, which makes it extremely adaptable to the environment and flexible, not only in terms of configurations but also in terms of use.
And so, in its evolved form, it is also now designed to furnish open-air spaces, both in the residential and contract and hospitality worlds, with upholstery materials suitable for outdoor use. The distinguishing feature of the outdoor proposal is found in the painted stainless steel structures behind the backrest, which both supports and embellishes the seat.
